The operative word was barely. The fetus is a clump of cells that has few if any human characteristics. Let me say first I am pro choice. However, a fetus that is 20 weeks old may be viable. I would argue that NO VIABLE FETUS has "few, if any, human characteristics". I said in the first trimester. And does the Party know of your beliefs? ted

David... .Let me say first I am pro choice. I used to be. However, with the advances in birth control, and the pills you can take up to a month after, to control conception, I see no reason that a woman would need more time than that to make a choice. If she needs more time, then I would suggest that other factors; like can I get my boyfriend to marry me, or will my parents help me raise the baby; are the reasons, and they aren't good enough reasons. There are a lot of couples out there who want babies. I just can't see that adoption is a poorer choice physically or mentally. That said, I do approve of abortion in special cases where the fetus is deformed or has a mental defect.
